yes we have from 7 to 7...a driver..there are 3 couples...

want an overview of florence, a short stop at pisa and tuscany...

what is the best way to do that and make good use of our driver...

I realize this is really tough to do in one day...

An overview is about all you can get in that amount of time; but knowing that in advance, you will have a wonderful time.

Spend as much time as you can in Florence. Head straight there from the ship--try to beat the crowds to the Acadamia, the Duomo and the other major attractions. Allow maybe an hour for Pisa. That's enought to at least see the Leaning Tower and the Basillica.

Again, have a great time in Tuscany.

But it does give you a great excuse to book another cruise

oh we will definitely go back..just trying to figure out what to do with only one day...

It is difficult, but I think you've got a great plan. If you just get a quick overview, then the next time you return, you'll know what you want to focus on. I like to do that with any place I've not visited. Find a driver, hit the hot spots, then the next time I return, I can spend time on things that have piqued my interest. Let us know how it went when you return.

yes that is the plan...
